Greenwashing is normal in industries involved with unsustainable development. In my attempts to help highlight greenwashing, I have encountered resistance in the form of sexism. In response to these experiences, I made a handy graphic as it seems that far too many people cannot recognise sexism when it is happening. Perhaps this tool will help identify it when it occurs so changes can be made.

Sad new of Herman Daly's passing. Such a massive contribution to the environmental movement, still largely unrecognised, and certainly not implemented. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/07/18/magazine/herman-daly-interview.html
This Pioneering Economist Says Our Obsession With Growth Must End

A sincere tip for longtime fediverse people who would like their friends to stick around here longer than a week:

If you're on Mastodon or Hometown, you can click the "bell" icon in the profile of someone you follow. This will make it so that every time they post, it will appear in your notifications like an "@". I am enabling this temporarily for friends so that I remember to interact with them. This is important for making this place feel more lively and helps people stick around!
